If you die in prison, they just chalk it up for, "Well, if he didn't do the crime, he wouldn't have been doing the time..."
No one could care less. Do you think the court system is going to back an estranged Mother who's butt fucking child molesting son was shanked in the fucking shower? The cocksucker already wasted enough of the state attorney's office time.
You would have to prove GROSS negligence in order to win anything like that, and in order to do that you would need hard proof. Prison guards and officials are like cops, more or less. They aren't going to rat anyone out (unless there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow).
